FXCC welcomes all trading styles, including hedging, scalping and arbitrage, and places no restrictions on your use of Expert Advisors.
MT4 runs on Windows computers, Macbooks and even Linux devices. It's also available for download as a mobile application from the Android and iOS stores.
Swap-free account
FXCC's trading account is also available without swap, upon request. Once you've opened an account on FXCC.com, contact your account manager for more information.
